6). Longyearbyen
If you’ve made it to Tromsø, why not also take in the Svalbard Islands, and with them the world’s northernmost settling Longyearbyen?
Brightly coloured houses provide a nice contrast to the more muted colours of the scenery.
7.) Reine
The picture tells it all – Reine and its extraordinary surroundings look like a carefully planned painting. Despite its size, it draws several thousand tourists per year who all awe at the snow-capped mountain tops and the mystical blue water.

8.) Undredal
Like many other villages in Norway, Undredal lies at the end of a majestic fjord. Here, the main attraction is the small stave church and the famous brown goat cheese that is still crafted the traditional way here. Undredal used to be only accessible by boat, but today the village has been disclosed by the Norwegian highway network.
9.) Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad is an old European star fort, which provides a very unusual but amazing layout for this pretty little town. It is home to a beautiful old town full of vibrant small alleys and shops, ideal to get lost in for a day or two.
10.) Stavanger
Technically a city, Stavanger lies on the south-west coast of Norway. Not only does the city centre provide amazing eateries and excellent coffee, Stavanger is the perfect place to start your hike up to the awesome, Preikestolen.
